Welcome! MeitanteiBunshou here with some thoughts on today’s Detective Conan.

This Week’s Translation

学校から帰ってたボク達は、先に帰った元太が走る姿を見かけたんだ。
話を聞いたら、怪我をした鰻屋さんの大将の代わりに出前をしてるんだって。

でも一緒に鰻屋さんに戻ったら、お店の前にパトカーと野次馬が!
うな重の平和を守るため、熱意あふれまくりの元太とボク達は、お店にいたお客さん達に話を聞きに行くことに…!

TVオリジナル「青空レストラン」とのスペシャルコラボ「元太のうなぎ捕物帳」このあとすぐ!

After we left school, we saw Genta who left before us running off somewhere. Turns out he was helping out the unagi restaurant owner who got hurt with a delivery.

But when we got back to the restaurant, there was a police car and onlookers out front! To protect the peace of the unaju, the overzealous Genta and the Detective Boys went on to investigate the people who visited the shop!

Anime original “Genta’s Casebook of the Eel” coming up next!

Today’s Episode

Love the new OP.

Have not caught up with the manga so I’m hoping that this opening is hinting at Ran getting back into the spotlight. The visuals are very cinematic. And speaking of visuals, this episode looked good. The characters seemed more proportionate.

Ladies and gentlemen… they’ve finally done it. We had Ayumi’s Picture Diary and Mitsuhiko’s Detective Notes. Now get ready for Genta’s Casebook of the Eel. Found Genta more tolerable in this one. He’s usually not seen as useful in the Detective Boys and goes on and on about unaju but it pays off in this episode. Really shows how perceptive Genta can be and really wish they’d use the Detective Boys in more effective ways.

I did like that Conan picked up on Okamoto’s Kansai-ben. Hanging out with Heiji must’ve helped a lot here. Finding out he still had the fan was cool, but Genta really should’ve kept the fan in the file to avoid messing up the fingerprints. Nonetheless, Okamoto got taken down by Genta’s body slam and was hauled off to the police station. Luckily, the owner of the shop wasn’t killed.

Next Episode is…

Bit shocked that the next episode is canon. Wasn’t expecting another canon case until August or September. Look like it is going to be a case at Teitain Elementary so perhaps there’s hope for the Detective Boys to be more effective in this case.

As for the Conan Hint: Soy Isoflavone(?) – 植木鉢 (Flowerpot/Planter?)

Until next time 👋
